Bobtalk

January 14, 1980
Seattle, Washington
Paramount Northwest Theatre
Concert

I was talking with someone last night who travels around and said, ... she was riding in a cab once and, ... it was in a big city. Cab driver turned around in the cab and said, "Did you hear Bob Dylan's a Christian now?" And this girl said. "Oh, I think I have heard that. How does that relate to you? Are you a Christian?" And the driver said, "No, but I been following Bob now for a long time." And the lady said, "Well, what you think of his new thing?" And he said, "Well, I think they're real good, but I tell you I think that if I could meet that person who brought Bob Dylan to the Lord I think I might become a Christian too." And this here song, this is all about that certain person. (before Precious Angel)

For those of you who have never read the book of Revelations. Every time you see that word in the newspapers or hear it, called Unilateral, watch out! (before Slow Train)

Thank you. All right I want to introduce a girl now I'll say's been with me now oh, year and a half, two years. Carolyn Dennis. She's gonna come out here and sing a song all by herself called, Walking Around Heaven All Day.

[someone in the audience: Bullshit!!] Bullshit? [loud heckling] Some of those people out there don't like the Lord? Don't know the Lord? What is it? Don't you like the Lord or don't you know the Lord? Which one of those is it? [loud heckling; someone shouts: I don’t care!] You don't care? Don't care?? I know you don't care. I didn't use to. (before Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking)

On the keyboards tonight, make him feel welcome, Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, Mr. Terry Young. Thank you. Is Jesus Lord? Say Jesus is Lord. On the drums tonight, give him a warm hand, Jim Keltner. Well, time is short you know. When Jesus died it was not the end, it was the beginning of the end. And we're right upon it now, you know we are. We're living on borrowed time. One of the first people to tell you that would be our friend on bass guitar, Mr. Tim Drummond. On lead guitar, Fred Tackett. Girl in the red dress, ... this is Regina McCreary. This young lady sang for you before, Miss Carolyn Dennis. This is Regina Peeples. That's Mona Lisa Young. (before Blessed Is The Name)
